Oh ya, the talk-ca list needs to keep upto date :)If anyone on the list
knows more about openlayers, it might help.

Hi everyone,I am working on the OpenStreetMap wiki page of
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Importing_Government_Data
so to better understand this GeoBase Import project,
Hopefully it will provide a good summery.

Anyway, i am wondering if it's possible(i think it is) to make an OpenLayer
where it shows everything that the GeoBase/CanVec site has to offer, so it
shows up as a layer, which can be used for reference when working on
openstreetmap? .. as well as for other projects that use openlayers that
would have interest in it.

and Canvec data

Wondering how hard this would be to create?

Thanks,
